Guide for Photo Facial

What is Photo Facial?

Photo Facial is used to eliminate various skin troubles and photo-aging by irradiating with light called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to the skin. This type of skin care is only available at medical institutions.
It also has effect on such different pigments as melanin pigment which causes spots and freckles and hemoglobin which causes reddish face.

What’s the difference between IPL and Laser Treatment?

If you have a laser treatment, you may have to put gauze or a bandage on your face and/or you may have severe pain which requires anesthesia after the treatment. But with Photo Facial Treatment, you will be able to wash your face or put your makeup on after the treatment.
This treatment requires no anesthesia, and you only feel a slight pain just like your skin is just snapped by a rubber band. Laser Treatment is only effective on particular treatments; only spot treatment for spots and only wrinkle treatment for small wrinkles. However, Photo Facial Treatment is such a revolutionary treatment which can improve a total skin condition and many types of skin troubles.
